Released in September 2020, the cunning and evil countess makes her Classified series debut as part of the first wave of Target's Cobra Island exclusive assortment. Baroness comes with the line's very first vehicle - the Cobra C.O.I.L. (what the acronym stands for is a mystery though). Originally the Baroness figure was supposed to feature gold trim on her spectacle rims, shoulder armor, waist belt and knee pads. However, these deco details were changed for whatever reason before she was released and went into production (note that the gold trim is still present with her depictions on the packaging artwork). Baroness is a fine figure, but lacks some of the articulation featured on most of the other Classified figures. Specifically, she has single-jointed elbows instead of double joints, she does not have a bicep swivel joint and she does not have a swivel cut joint on her shins or boots. Which is a slight disappointment. Her sculpt however, is absolutely fantastic.
Baroness comes packed with the following weapons and accessories: a Cobra C.O.I.L. motorcycle, (2) assault rifles, a Cobra snake arm blaster, a ceremonial dagger, (2) pistols and an alternate head (with motorcycle helmet on). Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

You might want to spread these out to a few per week. They're rapidly filling up the most recent replies tab.

Yeah, I actually just posted in the main thread with all the poll links that I am stopping at #13 for today so the threads don't get flooded. In hindsight, I probably should have stopped at #09 today. I will probably post another 5 or so sometime later this week or next weekend. My hope is that eventually the main thread with all the links will get stickied at some point.

Presentation is nice. But there are too many things I dislike about it.
I have several of these I bought just trying to get a good one. And with every single one her glasses have defects. From not being able to see her eyes at all to being deformed in some way. They didn't get the glasses right. I also have a couple with deformed guns. The COIL itself is just ugly. Not only in form and color scheme, but it looks extremely plasticy and cheap. They could have done a better job than this for the Classified line. 5/10 overall |

I think the COIL would have looked way better if it had been mostly black and only had some red and gold trim here and there.

I didn't look into that much details with mine. I love the figure but hate the bike like you. For such an iconic and popular character, she should have just been released as an individual figure instead of with that stupid, cheap looking gimmick bike. I like the figure so much it outweighed that decision/mishap so I gave it a 7.
Baroness was always my favorite character and I don't think they'd done her justice yet. The Walmart retro isn't even retro at all. Different card art and different weapons. I was hoping to see her classic rifle and backpack from the 1984 version. Oh well |

I think the figure looks really fantastic, but it looks a hell of a lot better with black pistols instead of gold and would look even better with different glasses. And it really needs double elbows. The bike kinda sucks, too. I went with 7.

This was my second most anticipated figure when the line was announced. I still enjoy this figure. With that said, even though there are technically three different figures for this character in the line now, I hope to get an updated version in the future

Exactly this. I also think she's the best female Classified character we've gotten to date, so she gets a 9 from me.
